Sussex Police want to trace the driver of a car involved in a fatal hit and run collision on the A24 near Horsham on Friday afternoon.  

A 70 year old woman from Horsham sadly died at the scene when her Ford Fiesta was in collision with a stolen black Mercedes AMG estate.  The incident occurred on the northbound carriageway on the A24 on the Farthings Hill roundabout near Broadbridge Heath.  A 70 year old passenger in the Fiesta suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment.  

Earlier police had been tracing the black Mercedes which was seen travelling in convoy with a Mercedes A class which had also been stolen. Both vehicles had failed to stop for officers following a burglary.  The Mercedes AMG was not being pursued by police when it was involved in the fatal crash 11 minutes later.
